Good questions
Is the gondola safe for children and elders?
Phase 1 (to Kongdoori) is short and gentle and suits most families. Phase 2 goes much higher; we'd suggest it only for those comfortable with altitude.
Can you arrange a car seat?
Ask us in advance and we'll try. Availability isn't guaranteed, so many families bring a lightweight one.
Can I change the hotels or add a day?
Yes. Every package is a starting point. Tell us what you'd like to change on WhatsApp and we'll send a revised plan the same day.
Where does the trip start and end?
At Srinagar airport (or Srinagar railway station). Your driver meets you at arrivals with your name, and drops you back on the last day.
Close, but not quite you?
Swap a hotel, add a night, drop a stop. We'll redraw it.
